Hello again John,

I thought you might be interested in an update on this KELL(E)Y family.
I wondered whether you know anything about the brother James you mentioned, or where the family were living?

This is the transcript of the (mouse eaten) William Kelley will of which Frances kindly sent a photo:

The uncle supervisor Philip TEAR married Anne's sister Margaret in Lonan on 2 Jan 1719 [FC].
2 Feb 1772 TEAR Margaret als HOGG [will] See: lawsonsiom.freevar.com/wills/1772_052.html

This is interesting “Transcribers Note: This will was disputed by a Mary Kewley alias Hogg, claiming that Margaret had initially made a Will naming her Mary Kewley the Executor and Residuary Legatee of her Estate. And that her Husband Philip prevailed upon Margaret to re-write the Will in his favour by means of many threats and menaces. The Will in his favour is as shown above which also accounts for the three big X's through it. Eventually the case was resolved by means of Philip Tear paying Mary Kewley Five pounds”.

I think that Mary Kewley could be the “Daughter Mary Kewley als Hogg” who appears in John Hogg’s 1772 will. [Anne’s brother John Hogg, who was named in her will?]

John HOGG married Joney KEWLEY in Lonan on 14 June 1727, and died in 1772.

Does anyone know anything about this Lonan KELLY / HOGG family?

Thanks,
